(Downstream bug report can be found here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76062)

I run an ArchLinux system with unmodified GRUB package from their official
repository <https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/grub/>.

Since package version 2:2.06.r261.g2f4430cc0-1
<https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/ca6954b79e3a4058c749a3d5fbcad07d1967d93d>
(GRUB commit 2f4430cc0a44fd8c8aa7aee5c51887667ad3d6c3
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=2f4430cc0a44fd8c8aa7aee5c51887667ad3d6c3>)
I noticed that I cannot boot with freshly installed GRUB anymore, because it
enters rescue mode right after the encrypted /boot key slot gets unlocked:


error: symbol `grub_debug_malloc' not found.
Unknown command `normal'.
error: symbol `grub_debug_malloc' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> _


The original 2.06 release (commit ae94b97be2b81b625d6af6654d3ed79078b50ff6
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=ae94b97be2b81b625d6af6654d3ed79078b50ff6>,
package 2:2.06-5
<https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/a7fde4c59995b4c3355e6827871f7bd1f55025d6>)
works as expected.

Grub is installed with:


# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
--bootloader-id=ArchLinux
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


For some reason the ArchLinux package is compiled with the '--enable-mm-debug'
option. *If I compile any version _without_ that option I can successfully
boot again.*

Is this maybe just a downstream issue from them using the '--enable-mm-debug'
option, or should this not happen at all?

Steps to reproduce:
1. install grub > 2.06
2. Generate grub config
3. Reboot
4. Unlock /boot slot

System info:
* Linux Distribution: ArchLinux
* Hardware: HP 350 G1 laptop
* Grub version: Git master > 2.06 tag
* Booting in UEFI mode & using cryptodisk feature with LUKS-encrypted /boot
